What BS, the officer said he had to accelerate to 60km/h to catch up to me, little did he know that the speed limit is 60, and if he was going 60 then I was driving at a slower pace since he caught up to me.
Red light issue: I asked the officer if there is a red light camera on that corner and he acknowledged it, at which point I said that if I was guilty of running the red light, the camera should have my plate? When he replies that I was lucky that the camera didn't get me. Hmmmmmm.
Anyways, just venting, the light wasn't red, it was yellow, could I have stopped, absolutely, was I speeding nope, just frustrating, and will fight it.

Get pictures of where the incident occured, map it out and map the respective speed limit as well.
If you were going 60 in a 60 zone, you should be able to prove it easily. Not to mention it sounds like the officier didn't actually get an accurate calcution of your speed, which actually makes it much easier to fight.
